We've celebrated the fact of having reached the 100-graduates milestone.
Since we opened this campus just over 2 years ago, for new industrial professions.
Olivier Riboud
Young people can train in 7 months others in 24. What matters to us, is for the young person to be employable and that they master the skills at the end of their L'Industreet course.
Reporter
Does an L'Industreet graduate have a high chance of being employed afterwards?
Safia Tami
Definitely. 80% of our students graduate and 60% of them find jobs immediately.

My exam is next month, in July, and if all goes well, the month after I'll have been hired by a company.

These young people have found their professional career, they'll have a long-term contract, or continue their studies, and that's fantastic because it's exactly what we designed this campus for.

I'm looking far ahead, in 5 or 10 years, I'm looking ahead to then.
